The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic
Directed by
2021

Jaakko loves B-movies; his favourite director is John Carpenter. He has an impressive collection of DVDs, with only one that has yet to be unwrapped – James Cameron's "Titanic". He's never seen it, even when he could have. The young man suffers from MS, is blind, and in a wheelchair. He talks on the phone several times a day with Sirpa, whom he has never met. They flirt, tell each other nice things, and share their suffering. Because the woman on the other end of the line is also seriously ill. When she receives a bitter diagnosis, Jaakko decides to visit her.
